Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian option)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup milk

- 16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

- Add the carrots, salt, and pepper; cook 3–4 more minutes.
- Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the potatoes and chicken stock to the skillet. Cover and bring to a simmer.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the broccoli florets and continue simmering until both broccoli and potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the milk until smooth.
- Slowly stir this mixture into the hot soup, mixing well to thicken.
